USAToday with civil liberties poll.

Sorry, I couldn't find a link for just the poll, (No CNN story found easily, and detailed info on new Gallup polls is behind a subscription wall) so you'll have to click to the article and look at the poll summary in the box on the left.

• Support for requiring everyone to show an ID before entering an office building, and for adding airport-style security on mass transit systems.

• Opposition to making it easier for police to read e-mail or tap phones, and to allowing the government to imprison citizens suspected of terrorism without trial for years.

• A split over whether to allow police to stop people on the street at random and ask for ID. Random searches on the street were opposed.

• Support for requiring all Americans to carry a national ID card, but narrow opposition to requiring Arabs, including those who are citizens, to carry special IDs. A narrow majority favored requiring Arabs to undergo more intensive security checks at airports.
